1 - Create Two Scenarios with Two Materials¶

This journal shows how to load the baselines and run the dynamic mas flow analysis, plotting the results for two scenarios and two materials.

Step 1: Set Working Folder and Import PV ICE¶

In [1]:
import os
from pathlib import Path

testfolder = str(Path().resolve().parent.parent / 'PV_ICE' / 'TEMP' / 'Tutorial1')

if not os.path.exists(testfolder):
    os.makedirs(testfolder)

print ("Your simulation will be stored in %s" % testfolder)

Your simulation will be stored in C:\Users\sayala\Documents\GitHub\PV_ICE\PV_ICE\TEMP\Tutorial1
In [2]:
import PV_ICE
In [3]:
PV_ICE.__version__
Out[3]:
'v0.2.0+458.gb7f81c7.dirty'

Step 2: Add Scenarios and Materials¶

silicon and glass materials are added to the two simulations, along with a scenario, in this case the baseline_modules_US. The baseline files for decadence scenario will be modified.

In [4]:
r1 = PV_ICE.Simulation(name='Simulation1', path=testfolder)
r1.createScenario(name='standard', massmodulefile=r'..\..\baselines\baseline_modules_mass_US.csv')
r1.scenario['standard'].addMaterial('glass', massmatfile=r'..\..\baselines\baseline_material_mass_glass.csv' )
r1.scenario['standard'].addMaterial('silicon', massmatfile=r'..\..\baselines\baseline_material_mass_silicon.csv' )

r1.createScenario('decadence', massmodulefile=r'..\..\baselines\baseline_modules_mass_US.csv')
r1.scenario['decadence'].addMaterial('glass', massmatfile=r'..\..\baselines\baseline_material_mass_glass.csv')
r1.scenario['decadence'].addMaterial('silicon', massmatfile=r'..\..\baselines\baseline_material_mass_silicon.csv')

path = C:\Users\sayala\Documents\GitHub\PV_ICE\PV_ICE\TEMP\Tutorial1
Making path: raw
Making path: input
Making path: output
Making path: figures

Exploring that the data got loaded properly, we can look at each scenario object, and material object saved dataframe and properties

In [5]:
r1.scenario['standard'].dataIn_m.head(2)

Step 4: Run the Mass Flow Calculations on All Scenarios and Materials¶

In [7]:
r1.calculateMassFlow()

>>>> Calculating Material Flows <<<<

Working on Scenario:  standard
********************
Finished Area+Power Generation Calculations
==> Working on Material :  glass
==> Working on Material :  silicon
Working on Scenario:  decadence
********************
Finished Area+Power Generation Calculations
==> Working on Material :  glass
==> Working on Material :  silicon

Now we have results on the mass layer that we can access

In [8]:
r1.scenario['standard'].dataOut_m.keys()
Out[8]:
Index(['Area', 'Cumulative_Active_Area', 'EOL_BadStatus', 'EOL_Landfill0',
       'EOL_PATHS', 'EOL_PG', 'Effective_Capacity_[W]', 'Landfill_0_ProjLife',

       'PG4_recycled', 'Power_Degraded_[W]', 'Repaired_Area', 'Repaired_[W]',
       'Resold_Area', 'Resold_[W]', 'WeibullParams',
       'Yearly_Sum_Area_EOLby_Degradation', 'Yearly_Sum_Area_EOLby_Failure',
       'Yearly_Sum_Area_EOLby_ProjectLifetime', 'Yearly_Sum_Area_PathsBad',
       'Yearly_Sum_Area_PathsGood', 'Yearly_Sum_Area_atEOL',
       'Yearly_Sum_Power_EOLby_Degradation', 'Yearly_Sum_Power_EOLby_Failure',
       'Yearly_Sum_Power_EOLby_ProjectLifetime', 'Yearly_Sum_Power_PathsBad',
       'Yearly_Sum_Power_PathsGood', 'Yearly_Sum_Power_atEOL',
       'irradiance_stc'],
      dtype='object')

What can aggregate results from dataOut_m and matdataOut_m and compile the data so we can use it more easily

Step 5: Use internal plotting functions to plot results¶

From this list, select the one that fits your study and select the type of plotting method. There are various plotting options:

  • plotScenariosComparison
  • plotMaterialComparisonAcrossScenarios
  • plotMetricResults: You can select the following keyword options: 'VirginStock', 'WasteALL', 'WasteEOL', 'WasteMFG'
  • plotMaterialResults
  • plotInstalledCapacityResults

You can also view all the keywords you can use by calling the function without argumnets, or by printing the keys to the module data or the material data

In [13]:
r1.plotScenariosComparison()

Please pass a keyword:
